So I had a moment to escape, but considering the way the rain was thundering down it was a good thing that I was being dragged up to Tori's room. Speaking of which…..

Tori opened the door to her room and pushed me in, as if I would sprint from her room and out to my car. I won't lie, I had considered it a minute ago, but that massive storm canceled anything I had mind. (Light storm my goddamn ass) I looked around Tori's room, and honestly I was surprised. I was expecting some Malibu girl thing from Miss. Vega. But instead it was a generic room; a couple posters of that Taylor Swift twit and a few other singers adorned her walls, along with pictures of her family and friends.

"Geez Vega, if you wanted me in your room all you had to do was ask; not drag me up here" I said with a chuckle.

Tori turned a rather nice shade of scarlet in a matter of seconds. "To change clothes" I added. Tori grabbed onto that as if it was her lifeline or something.

"Of course..change clothes..," she mumbled looking everywhere but at me. I nodded. "Why, what were you thinking miss. Vega?"

"n-Nothing!"

"Sure" I said chuckling. I moved around her room poking and looking at various things. As I expected, on the desk right next to her laptop was a picture of her and Andre. The two have been attached at the hip since Miss Vega graced the halls of HA with her presence. For some reason, I felt a small stab of jealously that there weren't any pictures of us. Why I would be feeling that was beyond me.

My hand then brushed the mouse connected to the laptop. The laptop was password protected, but that wasn't what stopped me. It was the fact that the desktop background was the picture of Tori and I at the beach together. Normally I hated the beach, but Beck and I had just broken up, and Tori yanked me to the beach to try and cheer me up. It was the one and only time I had truly enjoyed the beach.

I was in stunned into silence, no snappy one liner in my mind or anything even remotely sarcastic. I stared at the picture for a few seconds, feeling…. happy about being right there with Tori.

I let out a startled sound, not a startled squawk or anything like that when I was forcefully brought back to reality by a shirt and shorts hitting the side of my head and wrapping themselves around my face. Untangling my self I glared at Tori who gave a completely unapologetic smile.

Fine. My turn.

I proceeded to take my clothes off. or tried to. Despite taking the time to poke through Tori's room, my clothes were still soaked and pretty much stuck to my skin. I got my shirt off just fine, but my jeans did not seem to want to come off. Well that's just great. As I tried to get them off, I felt another pair hands join me in my efforts. I looked up in surprise at Tori helped worm my pants off my legs into a heap on the floor. Tori stared at my legs for a full thirty seconds before I spoke up and said "Dinner and movie first Vega."

Tori blinked rapidly as if being brought back to earth. And then what I said began to sink in, and she (again) blushed bright red. She stumbled off to change her clothes muttering under her breath. My smirk evolved into outright laughter when Tori struggled just as much as I did with her jeans. After a few seconds, I walked over and helped yank her out of her jeans.

"I guess you being nice to someone is the same as dinner and a movie Jade"

"You wish Vega" I said a heartbeat slower then I normally would have said that. Maybe she didn't notice…. no she noticed. Wonderful.

We both got dressed and used the towel that Tori had gotten while I was off in lala land. I followed Tori down the stairs with my eyes firmly glued on her ass. What? Those shorts. On Tori Vega.

I shook my head, trying to get those thoughts out of my head. There was no way in hell that I was sexually attracted to Tori freaking Vega. No way. Loud singing in Spanish broke up my inner rant. It didn't sound bad at all, it sounded like someone who sang only for fun, but still aimed to be on key.

"I see where you got your talent Vega, whatever happened to Trina's?" I asked.

"They say talent skips a generation" Tori replied immediately. I gave a loud bark of laughter at Tori mocking her sister. Tori seemed to beam at making me laugh before we both crossed over into the kitchen. Mrs. Vega danced this way and that setting up the dinning room table and bringing the food over to the table.

"Tori, your father will not be joining us tonight, he can't leave the station because of the storm and some idiota thought it would be a brilliant idea to drive during a massive storm."

"And Trina mami?" Tori asked taking her seat and pointing me towards the one next to her.

Mrs. Vega let out a loud sniff. "I told her to come home as soon as the storm lets up, and when she does get here, we are going to have a little talk."

Tori seemed to accept this pretty easily. It was pretty obvious that Mrs. Vega was the real power in the house, and she was clearly not a woman to trifle with. I made a mental note to watch my mouth around her. I don't think I would survive unscathed with a fight against her. We had already seated ourselves and we began passing the plates around loading food onto them. Dinner with the Vega's had begun.

Thanks for the reviews everyone, see you all next time.
